you're going to have to wait for pictures as sadly its a bigger job than first meets the eye

the unit gtitdi has designed works well but at the moment its currently lighting up the inside of my mirror base as i'm stuck!!

i can't see a way to get the LED#s from the mirror housing into the mirror base  :undecided:

@ Bob - you NEED to remove the door card - how else you going to run the wires?

you need to remove both door cards
the stereo or at least pull it forward
underneath the steering wheel
and the mirrors (unless i'm doing something wrong) but i've found it makes it a lot easier to run the wires

i've managed to hide the unit behind the passenger A Pillar trim by removing the rubber part at the bottom (i'll take a picture in the week to explain)

hopefully yes!!  :grin: :grin:

i reckon the mod will be worthwhile just give yourself plenty of time

biggest problem i've found feeding the wire through the door - as often you need to poke the wires up or down and or through a specific gap which can be tricky

and i'd forgotten what a pain in the arse refitting a door card is  :angry:
